Not bad
So I've seen all the other movies from The Conjuring series so I had to see this one. It turned out pretty good. The acting was as good as the others and the cinematography/effects were really good. The story started ot a little slow but once things started happening they kept on going. A little predictable but still got me with a couple jump scares. The creepy factor is definitely there too. All in all if you liked the others you'll like this one too. Worth a watch!
Ok...so I am terrified of dolls and so this one and the other original one are like my worst nightmares. I hate dolls but I loved this movie. It was simply terrifying. It was a great addition to this series. I cant tell you how many times I got chills or jumped near out of my skin during this movie. All I can say is thank goodness I was at home because the theater people would have been mad at me lol...

This damn doll just isn't scary, people - and neither is this movie, not a single time. However, for about half the time it does succeed at being effectively creepy and sometimes even sort of fun. I mean this is still just the same two or three rusty clichés and dated, predictable jumpscares on repeat but it has a lot of half-okay vignettes... which all get soured by the surfeit of nonsensical connections to other movies in the series and the insufferable "Hey, remember when THIS happened??" bullcrap. For one I wish they'd let David F. Sandberg be David F. Sandberg here instead of yet another inferior Wan clone like they do with the rest of these. And for two I'm not the first to suggest that this movie being more concerned with milking the Conjuring mythos dry of any miniscule amount of nuance it once had through attempting to spin it thin into some sort of pointless, scuffed 'cinematic universe' kills the standalone decent horror flick this could have been (as well as devalues the originals in the process) - and I hopefully won't be the last - but Jesus Christ did it have to be so fucking long too? When this script was written, did every sentence have to include at least three sets of ellipses between words? Also the non-horror stuff is worlds better than the horror stuff - personally I would have loved to have seen the movie that was pushed to the side in here about this group of orphans finding out something isn't right with Anthony LaPaglia and Miranda Otto or the secretive demonic stuff they've been cooking up in the background after their daughter gets killed. But no, it rushes past all the intriguing stuff in favor of a competent but saccharine and generic cash grab. Far from awful but also not all that much better than the original 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦. Did we really need a prequel... to a prequel (which in and of itself we didn't need)?

Best Yet
Admittedly I'm a huge fan of The Conjuring, Insidious, and Annabelle series. And these all have something in common...each sequel gets better and better. Creaking and stretching bones, stuff hidden in walls, and overall jumpy moments that don't quit make this creepy doll movie something far more sinister than Chucky.
A decent Horror film that is part of the Conjuring universe. Complete with some hints of the upcoming Nun film. It might not be as creepy or scary as most of the other films in the franchise. However it is still made to a good standard. If you like the Conjuring, Insidious films you should enjoy this.

Starting to become tedious
Quite a standard horror flick, filling in the gaps of the original @Annabelle (2014) film and the first @The Conjuring (2013) film on the origins of the haunted doll. No doubt, there are moments which are sinister, but overall, it fares less on the terror scale than others in this franchise.
It follows the story of a doll maker's family and the tragic loss of their young daughter after a car accident. In a bid to move on, they open their home 12 years later to a group of orphans, with serious consequences.
The idea as been explored many times before and done with varying degrees of success. The chill factor is very low but the story line moves at a steady enough pace to keep you watching.
